Estimating area by Andy (Posted 18 years ago)
Basically calculates the area facing a direction, based on 3 different area totals. I wrote it for a flight sim, but it could be used for other things as well.

Open in online IDE

frontarea#=50.0
Toparea#=50.0
sidearea#=50.0
totalarea#=0.0

yaw#=45.0
pitch#=0.0
roll#=0.0

totalarea#=Abs(Sin(yaw#)*sidearea#)+Abs(Cos(yaw#)*(Abs(Sin(pitch#)*toparea#)+Abs(Cos(pitch#)*frontarea#)))

Print "Total: "+totalarea#

WaitKey()
